Alignment issues...please help.
I have been dealing with getting my car aligned correctly for over a week now. I am being told that with H & R coil-overs that I will never be able to achieve the -1/16" toe in and that Steve Schwing has reccomended. I have the car lowered approximately 1.5" and have the ECS 4 bushing kit in the rear. Please, someone give me some advice. They are telling me that they have the car set-up at -1.6 Deg camber in the rear, but the bset they can get the toe to is approximately +.35 Deg Toe in the rear. Is this accurate. Mind you, this is much better than when I went in. I started at -2.5 Deg camber & +.56 Deg toe in the rear. Any help would be appeciated

Sport alignment specs. (updated)>>>
Call for +15 degrees total rear toe in. I don't know what the 1/16 translates into degrees as I use toe plates and rulers to set mine. You may need to go with Forge/Strat lower arms to get more adjustment if you want it Patric. You can pull the wheels in a little more which should get toe into spec....
Getting better anyway!

Did they try moving the trailingarm (slotted) mounting plates ? (4 bolts)
If they are using a hunter; have them spec this:
Front Camber -0.8
Front Toe +0.05 (Pos is toe IN, Neg is toe OUT)
Rear Camber -1.6 (You got that already)
Rear Toe +0.05 (If they change the toe by moving the trailing arm mounting bracket (toward the front of the car), the camber will have to be rechecked as well, as they are related in this case.
